Appearance panel not displaying blur nor shadow

[T Cantu]

Hey there,

I am using Win 11, Xd version 55.1.12. I cannot see the Blur nor shadow options in the appearance panel. I've tried creating a new file, grouping, ungrouping, creating a component, running CC updates, restarting, you name it.

I have no idea where I can find it and I need it desperately 😞

Can you share a screenshot of the whole window with the layers panel visible? So it happens on all elements? Effects can only be applied on separate elements, not on groups and components.

Hi and thank you for the poke! I seem to have missed the previous notification. I think I figured it out - I was trying to add the effect on grouped elements rather than a single element within that group, and then convert it into a component.

Thanks again!!!
